Try to locate a friend to teach you the basics. There might be flyfishing classes available, check with you local game and fish or rec dept. Buy an inexpensive rod, reel, line, etc. and some flies to match where ever you fish. Don't try to make it a difficult thing to do. Relax and practice casting in your yard and try for accuracy when fishing. Distance can come later. I see a lot of people simply feel that they must make flyfishing too complex. I used to haul around a hundred or more sizes and types of flies. A few years ago I dropped the numbers to about a dozen flies in 2 or 3 sizes. I catch just as many fish by keeping it simple.

Lefty Kreh wrote a book that will help you from the day you start to the day you die. You can certainly pick up the basics quickly and then it only takes the rest of your life to keep getting better. Do not let that discourage you, it is part of the challenge and part of the fun. I caught fish my first time and still love it everytime I go. If you are fishing rivers try wet nymphs and make sure you are just bouncing on the bottom. Dry flies take more time and technique to master but you can still catch with them right away. Also ishawooa is right, a basic selection of flies will get you through almost any situation you encounter. You only need to let it get as complicated as you want it to. Enjoy!
